Before kickoff on ๐Odds perspective:
If youโre playing this one, hereโs the no-bull take.
AS Montlouis at 2.37 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the National 2nd League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest theyโre due a regression โ stats nerds would steer clear.
Saumurโs 2.71 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart moneyโll likely poke at the Draw 3.24 โ these big games often play out tight, and nerves can stifle attacking flow.
